Best concealer for the undereye area I've ever used. Puts all click stick formulas to shame - excellent value for money compared to the YSL Touche Éclat or Chantecaille Le Camouflage Stylo. Shade range is a little limited. I wear Porcelain and am probably n12, leaning cool. Cream is more yellowy and would be suitable for NC20-30 skin tones. I love the buildable coverage, the natural finish and the subtle illuminating effect. Brilliant. It is not prone to creasing so long as you check back after 5 minutes (many concealers just crease immediately by default) and clean up with a q-tip. Lasts all say and makes me look human.

This is my HG foundation. It's suitable for people who want sheer to (at most) medium coverage and a very natural finish. It's not dewy or luminous but simply looks natural, like your skin. It can be applied just using your hands. The consistency is liquidy rather than creamy and you should shake the bottle before pumping (I rarely need more than one pump) as it is an emulsion type formula. As a person with fair neutral (slightly cool but not pink) skin, #012 is a perfect match. It holds up very well surprisingly in humid, hot weather. It does not oxidise on me at all. The scent is barely discernible and the pump packaging is great because it's so hygienic, Five stars.

The quality is excellent but I do think this is overpriced. The shadows come in the same wet/dry formula as the Nude Dip and Honeymoon quads, and the it's definitely a lovely formula. Highly pigmented, luminous, satin smooth and velvety. That said, the shades are similar enough to colours in both the Nude Dip and the Honeymoon quad that you're better off buying one of those instead (if you want bang for your buck!)

Fantastic quality blushes. The price tag is ouch but the formula is simply stunning - blends almost by itself with a velvety smooth texture. The matte shades are the best because it's so difficult to find matte powder products that aren't chalky. Surratt has nailed it, period. The shimmery shades are lovely too, refined rather than frosty. La Vie en Rose is a knockout shade that everyone should own. La Rosée du Soir is a perfect effortless nude blush that goes with anything. De Cherubique is the loveliest soft rose shade delicately laced with shimmer. They're all fantastic really. Highly recommended.

A very large brush but fantastic at picking up shimmery eyeshadows to highlight the inner third of your eyelids and pat shimmery shades down on the centre of the lid for an extra pop. It's firm and can be used to apply powder eyeshadows wet.

Really nice brush for smudging shadow along the upper lashline. A little stiff for the lower lashline but fantastic at smoking out eyeliner and pushing product in between the lashes.

Overpriced but lovely to have. The original pink shade comes out quite cool toned on my rosy, pigmented lips. Adds a nice hint of colour but would wear well under any lipstick I think. Not the most moisturising lip balm out there. It's more like a hydrating lip tint.

Excellent contour. Perfect in beteen shade between Kevyn Aucoin’s Light and Medium Sculpting Powders. Packaging is flimsy.

The prettiest peachy coral blush I've ever come across - though it looks orange in the pan, it's much softer on the face (sheer apricot). No shimmer or frost, just a subtle luminous sheen that is perfect for daytime wear. The brush it comes with is too scratchy for me but I appreciate that it's there.
